Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview was very average. The first round involved talking to the Hiring Manager, with technical questions based on my resume and experience. The second round was a HackerRank assessment, comprising a database question, an easy problem, and a frontend problem in JavaScript. I completed all three and was called for the third round.

The interview was scheduled for 6 AM EST. I've never attended an interview that early, but I accepted due to their policy of not interviewing outside of the working hours of their employee in India.

The third round included more technical questions and a system design question. Overall, all the interviews went well. However, the most annoying aspect was their slowness. Their repeated response was, "We are still collecting the feedback." This same response lasted for two weeks, after which I stopped emailing them.
